DI Frost is an old-school no-nonsense copper who believes in traditional policing methods. Assisted by several officers including the ever-able DS Toolan, Frost uses what he knows about the street to find solutions to complex crimes as a member of the Denton CID. His home life is complex as he cares for his wife until her death and then leads a quiet bachelor's life, with only the occasional attempt at a relationship with another woman. His daily nemesis however is the Station's commander, Supt. Mullett, who is constantly worrying about budgets, staffing levels and crime statistics. He doesn't appreciate DI Frost's rough and ready manner, which doesn't stop him from trotting him out - with his George Cross, Britain's highest civilian honour for gallantry - when it suits him.

If Dogs Run Free: Part 1

In the Public Interest

The naked bodies of three young men are found, arranged in a triangle, in a grave at an old burial site and an American anthropologist insists to Frost that these are ritual killings. However the fact that she has a book to promote and reports of unrest among local Eastern European immigrant workers suggest that the murders are not mystical at all. Ever the maverick, Frost enjoys crossing swords with James Callum, an unpleasant local business man who is going to tear down the local youth club to make way for new offices. When Callum's fitness instructress mistress, Rosemary, is found dead on her houseboat, and evidence also suggests that another of Callum's girlfriends died in suspicious circumstances some years earlier Frost cannot wait to pounce. First, however, he must get past Callum's adoring personal assistant, Michael. Perhaps a spot of breaking and entering would help Frost find the clues he is after.

Dead End

DI Frost is in a foul mood when he learns that DS Annie Marsh, who 15 years earlier had filed a formal complaint against him over his handling of a case, is assigned to the squad. He's never forgiven her for that black mark on an otherwise unblemished record and he makes sure she knows it. His mood isn't lightened when he realizes that his pocket was picked when he intervened in what appeared to be an escalating dispute between a husband and wife and he's now lost all of his credit and bank cards. They are soon investigating the apparent kidnapping of a bus driver and conductress. Mark Harrison had been driving for the bus company for about a year but the police learn that he had once been convicted of manslaughter when, as a lorry driver, he lost control of his vehicle killing four people, including a baby. As for the conductress, Jessica Green, she had recently broken up with a boyfriend who reacted by ransacking her flat. It's not clear who the intended victim was but they do know that Green is a diabetic and will die if she doesn't take her insulin.

Mind Games

Two young men are tricked by their girlfriends into stripping themselves nude for a midnight swim, during which the girls run off with the boys' clothes, leaving them to streak through Denton. One is arrested but the other, Roman Cassell, gets back to his office where,the next day ,he is found beaten to death. Suspicion falls on Jason Cohu and his father-in-law Joshua Ray, who blame Cassell for the death of Jason's wife and were in the vicinity of the office that night. Joshua admits to the murder but Frost believes he is innocent, misguidedly protecting his son-in-law and CCTV footage proves him right. At the same time Carl Meyer is released from a twenty year prison term. When he was a young boy he was accused of murdering a little girl with whom he used to play and with whose corpse he was found. Her cousin disappeared on the same day and he was also accused of killing her. The girls' family conduct a vendetta against him to which he shows no malice, claiming, as he had done all along, that he is innocent of both deaths. His only ally is the local vicar, whom Frost initially dismisses as a liberal 'do-gooder'. However she successfully convinces Frost that a simple lad like Carl would not be devious enough to maintain the same deception for so long unless he was indeed not guilty. This means that the real murderer is still at large.

Endangered Species

The day after he is acquitted in court, local villain Kevin Flannagan contacts DI Frost from his farm pleading for his help. Frost and DC Robert Presley investigate and can't find anyone there but do find something interesting in the bathtub: a live crocodile. In fact, they find all kinds of exotic animals and it's obvious that Flannigan's farm is being used to store unlawfully imported animals. They find the remains of a Vietnamese man in a pond - and in the crocodile - and the evidence points to a prominent Denton businessman, Kenneth Shaw. Meanwhile, Frost and Presley are called to the Harris home after the family returns from a caravan holiday to find a stranger dead in their bed. The dead man is eventually identified as Barclay Harris, a sculptor and part-time art teacher at a local school. It also appears that the pretty music teacher, Carol Haymarsh, was sitting for him and they may have been having an affair. She may have been having an affair with someone else as well.
less

Near Death Experience

A priest, Father Rose, is found covered in the blood of a murdered woman, the death bearing the hallmarks of a ritual killing, and Detective Sergeant 'Razor' Sharpe is drafted in to assist Frost, having investigated a similar death in his own area. The dead woman's family feel that her ex-boyfriend is to blame but Frost believes the priest is more involved than he is letting on. A glamorous profiler joins the team and suggests that they are dealing with a serial killer. And she is right. At the same time Frost feels responsible for the loyal George Toolan being hospitalized with severe injuries after falling from a high building whilst helping him prevent a suicide.
less

Dancing in the Dark

Frost's efforts to join a gym and date Julie, the fitness instructor, are hampered by two suspicious deaths. The first concerns a man found dead on a waste tip with no identity beyond an empty wallet, seemingly a mugging victim. However his wife comes to report his disappearance and Frost, in following through, is intrigued to learn that her sleep therapist is rather more than just the concerned friend he professes to be. Could these two meek little souls be capable of murder? The other body is that of escort girl Heather, found in a hotel room booked by married businessman Stephen Richman. He denies murder but confesses that he was shocked to realize what she did as she was a student friend of his daughter. Later he is found dead in his car but Frost can see no reason for his suicide and rightly so. The escort agency is involved in bringing in Eastern European girls to work as pole dancers and Heather's desire to join in the profits of the enterprise may just have caused her death. Frost eventually solves both cases and can at last relax with Julie.
less

Another Life

Reinstated and again working with Sergeant Lawson, Frost has two corpses on his hands. One is that of a man found floating in the river with cash and a list of numbers in his pocket. The other leads him into the competitive world of ballroom dancing and Miss Dolores Delmonte, whose search for perfection in her partners goes to alarming lengths.
less

Held in Trust

Presents keep arriving at Denton Police station from Frost's new secret admirer, though their identity turns out to be ironic, rather than adoring. He is up for promotion but Mullet seems to be more enthusiastic on his behalf and he even walks out of an interview panel because duty calls - a very sad duty, in fact. Bobby Palmer has gone missing whilst at a football match with his father, and there seems no doubt that the corpse discovered in a shed is his. The body of a second, malnourished boy, is also found dumped but this at least allows Frost to save a third lad from a grasping family. The fact that Anton Caldwell, a known paedophile, has been released from another area, and is living unsupervised in a local hostel fills him with rage, causing him to berate the psychiatrist who can only point out to him the failings of the system. Caldwell is not only a seedy little man but an extremely provocative one who taunts the police, saying that he 'loves' children and that it is quite all right for him to do so. Frost must restrain himself from allowing Caldwell to make him do something that will have an effect on his promotion.
less

Close Encounters

When the police are called in to investigate the death of a security guard at the local quarry, it seems that an autistic teenager's report of seeing aliens at the quarry the night before may make him a witness to the crime. Laurence Burrell is fascinated by UFOs and the like but because of his condition, is not very useful to Frost as a witness. The owner of the quarry, Charles Lightfoot, isn't very cooperative either. He's clearly been targeted by vandals causing some very expensive damage to heavy machinery but has never reported these incidents to the police claiming he doesn't want to affect his insurance rates. The area is scheduled for redevelopment as a posh housing development but Frost isn't quite sure what Lightfoot's role in all of this might be. Frost also has to deal with what appears to the parental abduction of a young lad by his father. He is pleased however that DS Hazel Wallace has returned to Denton CID, albeit temporarily, and he assigns her to investigate a series of petty robberies taking place in their area.

Hidden Truth

The Denton police are providing round the clock protection to Cathy Thompson and her son Robbie. She is the key witness for the Crown Prosecution Service in their case against Jack Flynn, a London drug dealer she witnessed beating a man to death. She and her son have been living in a safe house but security has been breached and a gunman tried to kill her but shot the live-in policewoman thinking it was her. Frost and Supt Mullett are convinced there is a leak in the police service itself and Frost recruits DS Terry Reid to help him find the source. CID is under extreme pressure from the CPS and they are none too please with the addition of Reid to the case, who they blame for the loss of a major conviction some years before. The case gets more complicated when they conclude there may be more than one gunman and when Cathy and Robbie go on the run after a second attempt on them. Meanwhile, Frost seems to have hit the jackpot when his regular numbers come up in the lottery - if he can find his ticket, that is.
less

Mistaken Identity: Part 2

The police now have Mike Patterson in custody but he vehemently denies having anything to do with the death of the Harrises. DS Toolan thinks that Patterson is their man but Frost isn't so sure and believes the solution lies elsewhere. The dead man in the reservoir is identified as Reginald Molloy, a one-time resident of Denton. His mother returns to Denton to identify the body and hasn't a clue as to how or why her son would be there. They had moved away some 13 years ago after she witnessed a bank robbery and was required to give evidence in court. When Frost learns that Paul Harris' father was also a witness at the same trial he has the beginnings of the solution. Melanie Monkton, the daughter of the local gentry, is also missing and although under pressure to include her disappearance as part of the murder investigation, Frost thinks it's a completely separate case. Meanwhile, Frost's relationship with psychologist Pam Hartley seems to be going well though it does take an unexpected twist.
less

Mistaken Identity: Part 1

DI Frost welcomes a new member of the CID team, PC Ronnie Lonnegan. They soon are investigating a mysterious death when a body is found in the local water reservoir. There is no identification on the body and there doesn't seem to be a car parked nearby so they're not sure how he got there. The post-mortem indicates however that he didn't drown in the place where his body was found. They also investigate the death of Paul and Jean Harris who are killed when an an assailant ties them up and sets their house on fire. The main suspect is Mike Patterson, a handyman who had been doing work for the couple and who may have also been having an affair with Jean. Forensics indicate there is a connection between the death of the unknown man and the Harrises. Meanwhile, Supt. Mullett is his usual concerned self about a formal inspection of the station by a senior officer. Frost is also his usual self, which doesn't help matters.
less

Benefit of the Doubt: Part 2

Having solved the death of Sylvia Carter, DI Jack Frost now focuses on the murder of a prominent local surgeon, Dr. Helena Gibson who was found in a plastic bag in a truckload of medical waste. According to the pathologist, she was killed with a blow to the head from a blunt instrument. Many at the hospital didn't like the woman including the hospital administrator, Jameson and several members of her surgical team including Dr. Retnick from whom she was demanding a letter of resignation. She had also recently had a run-in with a parent whose young son inexplicably died in post-operative care. In fact, there is an investigation into an abnormally large number of post-operative deaths at Denton General but as Frost learns, everyone who dies seems to have done so while occupying bed #5. DS Terence Reid is in hospital having been beaten in a public washroom. Frost is certain it has to do with his earlier investigation of Tim Hamilton, a university student from a well-off family who could be forcing shopkeepers to sell smuggled cigarettes. Given Reid's past, Supt. Mullett is prepared to write him off but Frost has every intention of clearing the man's name.
less

Benefit of the Doubt: Part 1

As is usually the case, there's a lot on DI Jack Frost's plate these days. He's been assigned a new officer, DS Terence Reid who has been transferred somewhat abruptly after investigating a university student for selling contraband cigarettes. He has other problems as well, as Frost soon learns, but generally he is a good copper. Their first case is that of a woman, eventually identified as Sylvia Carter, whose remains are found on the railroad tracks after being run over by several trains. She worked for a local sandwich maker and Frost is convinced she was having an affair with someone. Dr. Helena Gibson, a senior surgeon at the local hospital in Denton, goes missing over a weekend. From all accounts she was in on Saturday but didn't show up at a colleague's house for lunch on Sunday. She was brilliant in her field but was disliked by virtually everyone at the hospital so there is no shortage of possible suspects if in fact anything is amiss. Lastly, Jack has a lookalike who is impersonating him and then touching and groping women. He is not amused, nor is Supt. Mullett who is worried about appearances.

Line of Fire: Part 2

Having met his old girlfriend Shirley at the hospital and arranged for them to have lunch, Jack Frost's day gets off to a bad start when he happens to be in a bank when someone decides to rob it. The investigation of DC Tim Fox's murder continues and Frost has arrested DI Mark Newcombe, who was having an affair with Fox's wife, Helen. He claims that she killed her husband accidentally in an argument and he just helped her cover it up. Frost is starting to have second thoughts about the case. Elsewhere, the case of the cat killer takes on a new twist when an animal owner not only has her dog shot but someone then cuts the breaks on her car resulting in a major accident. She worked at the local power plant where a worker recently fell to his death and Frost begins to wonder if there might be a connection. He's put PC Susan Kavanagh, a computer expert, in charge of finding any patterns to the animal killings and realizes, he hopes not too late, that he may have put her in grave danger.
less

Line of Fire: Part 1

It's proving to be a busy Christmas-time for DI Jack Frost. At the top of his list is the murder of DC Tim Fox, a member of the regional crime squad who was shot in a park. Fox was a member of a team headed by Det. Superintendent Larry Finlay investigating a major car theft ring specializing in high-end automobiles. Of particular interest to Frost is the envelope in the glove box of his car containing Â£1000 in cash in small bills. Jack subsequently learns that Fox was regularly making sizable deposits to a building society account. The regional crime squad and their Super are less than cooperative and when Jack participates in a raid on a local chop shop, they conveniently find the gun that killed Fox in a desk drawer. HFrost also learns that Fox's wife was having an affairs s with one of his mates, DI Mark Newcombe. It's all too convenient as far as Jack in concerned. Elsewhere, Frost investigates an accident at the local power plant when Hugh Cockcroft, an employee, goes crashing through a barrier while on a cigarette break and is buried under several tons of coal. As well, someone is shooting cats, much to the chagrin of their owners.

Private Lives

Jack investigates an accident where Byrony Darrow was hit by a car while walking home. In a coma and unlikely to recover, Jack starts looking into her background. Her husband was at home with their daughter when the accident happened but there is evidence of sexual activity and Frost suspects that she may have been having an affair. What he learns about her shows that she had a far more complex life than anyone imagined. Separately, Jack investigates a robbery at a local brewery. Jack describes the robbery as "OTT" - over the top - since the thieves wore ski masks and used a sawed off shotgun when there was only one elderly security guard on duty. Using information from the police archives, he manages to lay a trap for the would-be thieves.

One Mans Meat

Frost investigates the murder of 17-year old Jane Owens who was badly beaten and found floating in the canal. She was living on the street and may have turned to prostitution to feed her drug habit.

He also investigates the death of Warren Barber, a government health inspector who had a particular interest in a meat packing plant run by Gerry Ryan. When his severed arm is located washed ashore in Hull, Frost sees a linkage to Ryan and the plant.

less

Appendix Man

When Lester Bryce-Jones is found hanging in his apartment, newly promoted DS Hazel Wallace isn't convinced that it is in fact a suicide. Her suspicions are aroused even more when she learns that his expensive lifestyle doesn't quite match his income as a hospital porter. Although Jack Frost submitted his resignation after the death of DS Clive Barnard, Supt. Mullett actually placed him on extended compassionate leave and now asks him to return to active duty. Frost takes charge of the case and soon finds a connection to two of his old cases. The first, the Appendix Man, involved an appendicitis patient who walked out of hospital before his surgery and was subsequently found drowned in the river. The other dated from seven years previously and was known as the Black Farm Murders where a local landowner was killed and his valuable paintings stolen. Realizing they are all related in some way, Jack has the opportunity to close the books on all three cases.

However, when two children are killed, both with indications of having injections, Jack may be in the soup. Supt. Mullett advises him that he will have no choice but to advise the Chief Constable and that it will likely lead to a disciplinary hearing.

Penny for the Guy

It's a busy night for the Denton CID. Just as DI Jack Frost is about to leave on a fortnight's leave, the body of a young boy is found dead in an alley. He was found gagged and the pathologist determines he had been chloroformed and had choked on his own vomit. He had also had his left pinkie finger cut off. The police had initially thought the young boy was Bobby Kirby who had gone missing that evening, but they determine it's not the same child so they have both a murder victim and a missing child. The same evening, a couple returns home to find their front door open and their teenage daughter missing. The parents paid 25,000 pounds for her release but Frost has his doubts having had business with the girl's father in the past.

Deep Waters

DI Jack Frost investigates the stabbing of a woman during a robbery at a sub-post office. He is convinced that they have the culprits in custody but is frustrated by the limits placed on his ability to gather evidence. He also looks into an attack on the very pretty Helen Tudor who was pushed down the stairs at her university. She has no idea who may have pushed her but had recently rebuffed a professor, Dr. Michaelson, who had a reputation for getting too "close" to his students. In the course of the investigation, Frost learns that a woman very similar in appearance to Helen drowned some two years previously, even though she was a very good swimmer. Clive Barnard, now a DS in Boxborough, assists Frost in locating a possible suspect, a student who knew both girls. Frost finally finds himself a flat but also gets some unexpected lodgers.

Mullett has other ideas however and wants Frost to investigate what he sees as an assault on a local football hero, Adie Carr, who was kicked in the head while on the pitch. It's not all that simple however when toxicology reports indicate it isn't the assault that caused him to collapse into a coma but rather a drugs overdose.

Finally, Frost receives a visit from his late wife's sister who now lives in America and doesn't seem to be in any hurry to return.

He's also assigned DC Barnard, the Chief Constable's nephew, who receives a frosty reception from his fellow officers. In the course of searching for the girl, they uncover human remains that have been buried for 30 years or more. The remains are those of a bank clerk who had vanished with a large sum of money. When the assistant bank manager is murdered with the same gun used to kill the bank clerk, Frost must determine who else might have been implicated in the robbery. All during this time, Frost has to deal with his dying wife.
